Can omnivores be considered keystone species? Bears as a study case

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract The functional roles of herbivores and carnivores in ecosystems have been relatively well studied: both can shape ecosystems through strong direct and indirect top‐down controls on other guilds. By contrast, the role omnivores play has been rarely explored, even though their diet spans several trophic levels and potentially has numerous ...

Serological Evidence of Schmallenberg Virus Exposure in Ruminant Abortion Cases from Selected Regions of Iran: A Virus Neutralization Test‐Based Study

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
Neutralizing antibodies against Schmallenberg virus (SBV) were detected by the virus neutralization test in cattle and sheep with a history of abortion from three selected regions of Iran, providing evidence of prior SBV exposure and highlighting the need for further studies on its epidemiology and circulation.

Vanishing Winters and Shrinking Ice: Ecosystem Services and Societal Impacts in the Laurentian Great Lakes

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract The Laurentian Great Lakes are undergoing rapid winter transformations, with profound implications for human societies. Winter air temperatures have increased, accelerating ice loss since the mid‐1990s. These trends are altering thermal regimes, shifting precipitation from snow to rain, and increasing winter runoff and nutrient fluxes, with ...

Long‐term shifts in the seasonal abundance of adult Culicoides biting midges and their impact on potential arbovirus outbreaks [PDF]

, 2019
Surveillance of adult Culicoides biting midge flight activity is used as an applied ecological method to guide the management of arbovirus incursions on livestock production in Europe and Australia. To date the impact of changes in the phenology of adult

Remote Sensing for Operational Surveillance of Mosquito‐Borne Diseases

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Remote sensing observations have demonstrated increasing value in identifying human risk from mosquito‐borne diseases because mosquito ecology is intrinsically tied to geophysical variables measurable by satellites. Satellite‐based monitoring of environmental conditions at varying temporal and spatial scales has extended our capacity for ...

Look up! Stratification and vertical approach to auditory prey cues in frog-biting midges (Corethrellidae)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Frog-biting midges (Corethrellidae) are tropical, blood-sucking micro-predators of frogs that locate their prey by eavesdropping on anuran mating calls.
